From Gavin's post featuring his sketchnotes from the event, he writes:

Food for Thought, I imagine, is like TED before it became TED, with really great food. It’s a unique conference hosted every year by Erwin Penland in the charming city of Greenville SC, and brings together innovators, entrepreneurs, marketers and business leaders. This is the second year I have had the privilege of going.“
